Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
This Special Issue is focused on original research articles and critical reviews on the “Latest Updates in Soft Magnetic Materials". The main aim is to focus on related topics by publishing the current developments in soft magnetic materials.
Soft magnetic materials have high magnetic permeability (μ) and low coercivity (Hc), and they are mainly used in the manufacturing of inductors, transformers, sensors, and other applications that require rapid magnetization and demagnetization. With the development of industrial technology, the demand for high-performance soft magnetic materials is increasing, especially in high-frequency working environments. Soft magnetic materials have become an indispensable subcategory in the field of engineering magnetic materials due to their significant value in cutting-edge technological fields such as electric motors, transformers, and sensors. According to whether the atomic arrangement within the material structure is orderly, soft magnetic materials are divided into crystalline and amorphous soft magnetic materials. Metal soft magnetic alloys (mainly composed of Fe) and soft magnetic ferrite (Fe3O4 and other oxides) belong to crystalline soft magnetic alloys. Amorphous soft magnetic alloys mainly include Fe-based amorphous alloys, Co-based amorphous alloys, and nanocrystalline soft magnetic alloys derived from amorphous materials. Easy magnetization and demagnetization are the characteristics of soft magnetic materials, and the performance requirements for the required devices vary in specific applications. Usually, soft magnetic materials are required to have characteristics such as high Curie temperature, high magnetic permeability, high electrical resistivity, and low coercivity.
This Special Issue of Magnetochemistry on the “Latest Updates in Soft Magnetic Materials" will closely follow research in this topic to highlight the recent achievements in soft magnetic materials from leading groups around the world. The synthesis, structure, and properties of soft magnetic materials and their applications are appreciated.
In particular, the topics of interest include, but are not limited to, the following:
• soft magnetic ferrite;
- iron silicon alloy;
- iron aluminum alloy;
- iron silicon aluminum alloy;
- nickel iron alloy;
- iron cobalt alloy;
- amorphous soft magnetic alloy;
- ultrafine crystalline soft magnetic alloy;
- soft magnetic composites;
- new soft magnetic materials.

Manuscript Submission Information
Manuscripts should be submitted online at www.mdpi.com by registering and logging in to this website. Once you are registered, click here to go to the submission form. Manuscripts can be submitted until the deadline. All submissions that pass pre-check are peer-reviewed. Accepted papers will be published continuously in the journal (as soon as accepted) and will be listed together on the special issue website. Research articles, review articles as well as short communications are invited. For planned papers, a title and short abstract (about 100 words) can be sent to the Editorial Office for announcement on this website.
Submitted manuscripts should not have been published previously, nor be under consideration for publication elsewhere (except conference proceedings papers). All manuscripts are thoroughly refereed through a single-blind peer-review process. A guide for authors and other relevant information for submission of manuscripts is available on the Instructions for Authors page. Magnetochemistry is an international peer-reviewed open access monthly journal published by MDPI.
